The story behind 3idiots

Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor,
Sharman Joshi, Madhavan and Boman Irani has gone on the floors. The
film is loosely based on Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone. The
first teaser poster of the film is out and has a huge blackboard with
mathematical formulae scribbled on it.

The cast of 3 idiots include:

money to overcome poverty of his family.

PROFESSOR KURIEN – BOMAN IRNAI

NEHA KURIEN (DAUGHTER OF PROFESSO) – KAREENA KAPOOR


Work in progress

Sources reveal that Hirani doesn't want to give away the look of his
protagonists soon, which is why the teaser doesn't have any of the
actors in it. However, work on the film is underway and Hirani plans
to wrap 3 Idiots by December.

Begins September

The source adds, "The shoot of the film with the supporting characters
has already begun, Hirani and his
team are in Simla and the
film is scheduled to be shot in Ladakh, Delhi , Bangalore and Mumbai
as well. Aamir and rest of the cast will begin shooting in early
September."

Shantanu Moitra has given the music for 3 Idiots while the lyrics are
by Swanand Kirkire.

Class is on

Apparently, author Chetan Bhagat was the first to see the poster and
quite liked the final result. "Since the setting is that of an
engineering college campus the poster had to have elements of a
classroom."

The poster has been designed by Rahul Nanda.
